Overall experience is designed as a “first person” superhero adventure in which they become part of the story and action.

Design of the attraction involves a a traveling dome complex the size of two football fields developed by Hero Ventures that will visit around 20 cities in its first year.

“Hero Ventures is developing a themed entertainment concept that we expect will be a transformative, traveling destination that will deliver to fans and families an exciting, groundbreaking and unique experience,” said Marvel’s VP of business development, Sean Haran.

Hero Ventures, co-founded by sports and entertainment entrepreneurs Rick Licht, Doug Schaer and Jason Rosen, is producing the themed experience. Michael Cohl, former Live Nation chairman, and “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” co-producer and PRG founder Jeremiah “Jere” Harris serve as lead producers.

“The Marvel Universe just keeps getting hotter, as seen by the massive world-wide box office and merchandise success of their characters,” Michael Cohl said. “We can’t wait to bring our Marvel vision to life in this first-of-its-kind event.”

The Los Angeles-based firm recently locked down a round of financing to develop the Marvel attraction.

“The dynamic creative elements we’re developing are going to enable anyone to feel like a superhero like Spider-Man or Captain America,” said Hero Ventures’ CEO Rick Licht. “We couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with Marvel.”

Marvel has a similar attraction inside Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in London, featuring Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man and other characters, along with a nine-minute animated 3D film that involves 4D effects like blasts of wind and water and vibrations. The project was produced with Marvel and involved animators in India and Los Angeles.
